...For example, moderate grazing in tropical grasslands that generates positive soil carbon storage could additionally result in increases in productivity and soil water-holding capacity (Belknap et al., 2005; Teague et al., 2011) that might make grasslands better able to withstand climatic changes....

...Nor was it our aim to describe the taxonomic and geographic bias of AM research, issues that are well understood for the ecological literature in general (e.g. Fazey et al., 2005; Felton et al., 2009; Teague et al., 2011)....

...For example, two agricultural articles (Fessehazion et al., 2011; Teague et al., 2011) used monitoring data to continually adjust the rate of nutrient application to crops, and described this process as AM....

...…that increase animal distribution and movement, and that include periodic growing season recovery and short grazing periods to mitigate the damaging effects of repeated selective grazing (Morris and Tainton,1991; O’Connor,1992; Norton,1998, 2003; Provenza, 2008; Teague et al., 2004, 2011)....

...Over a 9 year period, the health of soil and plants in north Texas tallgrass prairie improved when ranchers used multi-paddock grazing with high stock densities for short durations, compared with light continuous or heavy continuous stocking on neighboring ranches (Teague et al., 2011)....

...In moremesic rangelands, such as tallgrass prairies where water and nutrients are less limiting for regrowth, well-managed multiple-paddock grazing can increase plant and animal production by maintaining plants in a vegetative state for a longer time (Gerrish, 2004; Teague et al., 2011)....

...If they did, the higher stocking rate treatments would be consistent with accepted good grazing practices and would likely not have incurred detrimental effects (Teague et al., 2011)....

...Maintaining adequate vegetative cover and minimizing the adverse effects of bare ground on plants are paramount to retaining plant productivity and preventing soil erosion and deterioration (Thurow, 1991; Teague et al., 2011)....
